WHERE YA RUSHING TO?
 

Everyone in such a rush..
to go nowhere.....
to do nothing...
but...they got to get there first....

saw some guys,,,hop in the car...
speed away from the curb....
almost hitting a parked car....
they had to buy some more beer....

all in such a hurry....
to hide,...
to pretend.....
to deny....
to think....
to escape..
to be entertained....
to be amused....
to try and forget....
to forget how to remember.

A girl went skimming through her email...
missed where it said her friend had died...
just laughing ...
deleting ,sending jokes...
so she could do important stuff....
had to watch the jerry show,,,,,

and ask one...ask them all...
"how are you"?
'I'm fine,,,WONDERFUL....GREAT...
can't complain...."

as people escape and try to hide...
from themselves...from each other,....
from the mirror....from that voice...
from that knowledge...from the FEAR...

they ask for help....for advice...
for ideas and suggestions....
and you RUSH to help them..
to show you care....AND...
they're GONE...rushing....
to do "THINGS"....
to go PLACES...
NO MEANING....
NO VALUE.......
JUST to GO....to MOVE....
to avoid that SELF..
